Pakistan's railway boss called an emergency meeting to get ready for thousands of religious pilgrims heading to Islamabad. Federal Minister Muhammad Hanif Abbasi gathered government officials to plan the massive annual celebration at Bari Imam shrine. The holy event draws believers from across Pakistan and other countries who travel long distances to pray. Deputy Commissioner Irfan Memon told the minister about medical camps and clean water stations for the crowds. Officials promised food vendors would follow strict health rules during the spiritual gathering.
Abbasi ordered security teams to install metal detectors and cameras around the shrine entrance and parking areas. Government workers will clean bathrooms every day and monitor food quality at all vendor stalls. Traffic cops received orders to prevent jams and keep roads moving smoothly during the busy festival. Police departments must assign female officers to help women pilgrims feel safe and comfortable. The minister demanded separate prayer areas and medical services specifically for female visitors.
The railway chief warned that any mistakes in planning would face serious consequences from his office. Abbasi plans to personally inspect the shrine grounds and fix problems before pilgrims arrive for prayers. Local volunteer groups will work alongside government staff to manage the huge crowds expected at the event. Raja Sarfraz Akram from the shrine management promised community helpers would support the official arrangements. Government departments pledged to create a peaceful spiritual experience for all religious visitors.
